Call for Papers, Videos and Participation
Proceeding will be published by IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY
Knowledge Domain Visualization (KDViz) aims to improve our understanding of the development of a knowledge domain through the study of a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative properties of a knowledge domain. KDViz emphasizes the great potential of an approach that integrates techniques such as information visualization, exploratory data analysis, information retrieval, and information science.
Aims
International Symposium on KDViz aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines to address theories, methodologies, techniques, applications, evaluations and case studies in relation to KDViz. The symposium also aims to promote the cross-disciplinary awareness between disciplines such as information visualization and information science. For the purpose of this symposium, a knowledge domain is broadly defined as a dynamic, evolving intellectual structure of a given subject matter. Knowledge domain visualization aims to reveal the dynamics of a knowledge domain by utilizing a wide variety of techniques involving visual thinking, visual discovery, visual exploration, and visual analysis.
Scope
The symposium will seek original papers concerning, but not limited to, the following topics. Submitted papers must clearly demonstrate a connection between information visualization and the study of a knowledge domain:
Fundamentals of KDViz
Case Studies
Citation Analysis
Domain Analysis and Modeling
Historical, Sociological, or Philosophical Approaches
Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Representation, and Knowledge Diffusion
Invisible Colleges, Scientific Networks, Social Networks, Scientific Paradigms
Qualitative and Quantitative Methodologies
Scientometrics
Dynamic Models of Scientific Disicplines
Growth Models of Science and Technology
Highlights
A major goal of the symposium is to demonstrate and compare different techniques, algorithms, and approaches that can be utilized to analyze and visualize knowledge domains. In order to facilitate this goal a large-scale data set from the information visualization domain will be made available and participants will be encouraged to utilize this data set to demonstrate new approaches and algorithms.
Further Publications: Additional opportunities of publication include journal special issues and an edited book.
